The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1887-08-03

A party of treasure-seekers, backed by
several PhiAdelphia capitalists, have
chartered the schooner William P. Orr
for period of six months to look for
900, 600 Spanish doubloons, which they
assert are buried off the Delaware capes
on the English privateer De Braak, which
sank in 1898. A London lawyer has
been at work for six months past in look
ing up from English records in London
thae Il particulars of the laundering of
til e Braak, and has furnished to the
parties interested the minutest details of
the craft. 1t seems that the vessel had
been privateering on the Spanish main
and had captured two galleons loaded
with the precious coin, which was lodged
in the lockers of the De Braak for ship
ment TO England. The vessel foundered
in gale, however, before she could
make the Delaware eapes in safety. The
experienced divers, with all necessary
apparatus, steam boilers, pumps and a
party of ten men, will accompany the
schooner, and work will be started i'm
mediately. A powerful tug will be char
tered to remain by the schooner to tow
her to the Delaware Breakwater when
the sea shall become to heavy for work,
and to assist in moving the divers about
in their work in the water, which is Aot
less than fifty feet deep.

An Ungrateful Panther.

Jim Ponce, of St. Augustine, F1a.,
going through the woods heard tremen-
dous squawls, yells, and roars, and eau
tiously investigating came upon a seven
foot panther fighting with an alligator,
which had the panther fast in its ponder
Gus Jaws. Ponce sided with the under
dog and shot the alligator whereupon
the panther, freeing himself, made ior
the hunter, who had hard fight before
he killOa the ungFateful beast.-'Nes

Brains and Bodies.

On the one hand, the great men of the
past have been noted not only for their
brains but for their bodies as well, and
that, on the other, in the development of
their bodies the time given TO athletics
and to exercise was productive at once of
an increased tenure of life and of the
highest and best intellectual power.
Here again, were it desirable, examples
might be indefinitely multiplied. 1t is
easy to recall that Sir Walter Scott was
unusually robust and physically active
until overtaken by fatal diseases; that
Burns in his youth was an athlete Of ne
mean prowess; that Byron, in spite of his
defofmity, eXcelled in feats of strength,
and that he prided himself as much upon
having swan the Hellespont as upon
having written "Childe Harold;" that
Dickens considered himself at a great
intellectual disadvantage if compelled to
forego his daily ten-mile walk at four
miles an hour, regardless of weather; that
George Sand preferred to work far into
the night so that she might have more
hours of daylight for her walks in the
country; that Goethe swan, skated, rode,
and was passionateiy fond of all forms of
exercise; that Humboldt prepared him
self for his explorations by systematic
exercise to the point Of fatigue that
Leonardo da Vinci was devoted eques-
trian; that Wordsworth was an inde.
fatigable pedestrian; that Kant allowed
nothing to interfere with his daily after,
noon walk; that Gladstone has his pri,
yate gymnasium, in addition TO losing nc
opportunity for out-of-town exercise
that Bismarck has all his life been fond
of sport and exercise, and is as indie
fatigable in their pursuit as in his work az
a diplomat; and that among living au
thors, orators, and statesmen We hav'
many equally conspicuous examples o.
! the same general uuth.-LlpDiRook.

A SUMMER soNo,

Oi spirit Of the summertimel
Bring back the roses to the dells,
The swallow from her distant cline,
The honey-bee from drowsy cells.
Bring back the lfssndship of the sun,
The gilded evenings calm and late,
When merry children homeward run,
And peeping stars bid lovers wait
Bring back the singing and the scent,
OF meadow lands at dewy prime;
OF bring again my hearts content.
Thou spirit of the summertime.

lowed which lifted the top on the car as though IL

most blown to pieces the greatest excitement pre-
vailed. The train was stopped and the baggage
transferred to another car. Mingus was quite Sc
